Deed issued to buyer of foreclosed Sleeper house

Denver investor John Dilday was issued the deed today for the futuristic Genesee Mountain house made famous by Woody Allen’s “Sleeper” movie.

Dilday bought the house at the Jefferson County public trustee’s auction earlier this month for for $1.5 million – $1 more than the minimum bid placed by the lender that foreclosed on the iconic home.

Dilday, who typically buys homes to flip them to other buyers, is planning to sell the house to a local couple.

Designed by architect Charles Deaton, the landmark home, clearly visible from Interstate 70, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit. It is also known as the “Sculptured House.”
